Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs
Ingredients
- 6-8 slices bacon
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuits
5-count
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
optional
- chopped parsley
for garnish
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- 2
Add the bacon to a large, cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook until crispy, flipping halfway. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- 3
Add the beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, for about 4-6 minutes. Once fully browned, carefully drain the grease and transfer the meat to a large mixing bowl.
- 4
Crumble the bacon and add to the bowl with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, ketchup, and mustard. Mix until well combined.
- 5
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Remove the biscuits from the packages and use a rolling pin to flatten each one. Aim for thin circles about 4 inches in diameter.
- 6
Divide the mixture evenly between the biscuits, spooning about 2-3 tablespoons onto the center of each circle. Divide the cheese between each bomb, pressing it gently into the meat so it sticks.
- 7
Carefully fold the edges of the dough around the filling. Pinch the seam tightly to seal, and shape into a firm, round ball.
- 8
Place each ball seam-side-down on the baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each.
- 9
Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of each ball and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if using.
- 10
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffy. Rotate the tray halfway through to ensure even browning.
- 11
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with optional garnishes and toppings or sauces for dipping, if desired. Enjoy!

The magic lies in combining savory ground beef, crispy bacon, and melty cheddar inside a soft biscuit shell. This clever approach captures the essence of a bacon cheeseburger, creating a dish that's inherently delicious and uniquely fun to eat, setting it apart from traditional slider recipes. Prepare for a delightful sensory experience with every bite of these Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs. You'll first encounter a golden, flaky biscuit, giving way to a savory core of seasoned ground beef infused with Worcestershire, garlic, and onion powder. This is complemented by smoky, crispy bacon pieces and wonderfully gooey, melted cheddar cheese that stretches with each pull. The subtle tang of ketchup and mustard mixed into the filling ties all these classic burger flavors together. They’re designed to be straightforward to prepare, ensuring a rewarding experience for home cooks looking for maximum flavor with minimal effort. Don't hesitate to make these Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs your own! While cheddar is a classic choice, other cheeses like provolone, Monterey Jack, or even a pepper jack for a little heat would melt beautifully. For a different flavor profile, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture. If you want to experiment beyond beef, ground turkey or chicken could be used, though the rich, traditional beef and bacon pairing is truly exceptional. The optional Parmesan cheese provides an extra layer of savory depth. These delightful Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs are ideal for game day gatherings, a fun family dinner, or as an impressive, hearty appetizer for any casual party. Serve them warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley, and offer extra ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping.
